Markus, It appears that the logic against our extra ‘checking’ package was incorrect. We have now included two instances of the same executable, one before all packages and one at the end.
The ‘DetectCondition’ for the one at the top is set to always ‘0’, so it will always run on install, and the one at the bottom is set to ‘1’ meaning that it will not fire on install. Then on install the one at the bottom is run first and will always detect as present, so it will always uninstall, and the one at the top will never run. Thanks for your help guys.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] One-Time Reboot in Burn Executable Hi, Did you set an UninstallCommand and RepairCommand for your ExePackage. You also should provide a DetectCondition, so that burn can detect if your exe is installed or not. Markus > Adam Roper <adam.ro...@guidance.eu.com<mailto:adam.ro...@guidance.eu.com>> > hat am 7.
